A student from Karachi University has made environment-friendly plastic from a marine plant. But that is not even the most exciting thing about it.

What’s interesting about this type of plastic is that it’s edible. You can mix it with water or any other hot fluid and drink it without any harmful effects.

As per reports, the plastic can be used for making shopping bags. When it comes to its commercial aspects, the only disadvantage is that it cannot hold high-temperature liquids like tea, because it dissolves in hot fluids.

However, cold liquids like milk can be carried in these bags for a short period.

A recent clip that is being circulated on social media shows the host mixing the plastic in the water and then drinking it to show that it does not have any side effects and can solve the pollution problem that the country is facing from excessive use of non-biodegradable plastic.
